Savoury Cake with “Butterfly” Prawn Crackers

Another blog post freshly published by butterkicap.com. I hope you enjoy!

Savoury cakes are an acquired taste. When we hear the word ‘cake’, what we imagine is something sweet, decadent and rich. ‘Savoury’ is the last word we would think of to describe it. However, with an open mind, savoury desserts can be delicious too. But, only when made with the correct ingredients.

When it comes to flavour, it has to be strong, not pungent but with a herb-like sweetness in the end. I would say, savoury cakes are refreshing and light, perfect as an appetiser, refresher or amuse-bouche. While most of us don’t usually prepare or have an amuse-bouche as a pre-appetiser in house parties we organized here in Malaysia, I think it is high time we bring a small part of ‘haute cuisine’ to our table but of course, with a Malaysian twist.

Ingredients:

a) Savoury Cake Batter

90g coconut milk
90g milk
2g of turmeric powder
3g sugar
3g salt
75g flour, soft

b) Savoury Cake Filling

5g red chillies
10g chives
10g shiitake mushroom
10g onions, diced

c) Sambal Paste

100g dried chillies
10g garlic
30g shallot
20g dried shrimp

c) Sambal Aioli

2 egg yolks
30g lemon juice
80g canola oil
100g sambal paste

Method:

a) Savoury Cake Batter

Whisk all ingredients and strain.

b) Savoury Cake Filling

Dice red chillies and mushroom. Fine chopped chives.
Shallow fry anchovies until crispy.
Sweat red chillies and mushroom until fragrant.
Mix crushed anchovies and cooked vegetables into batter.

c) Savoury Cake

Bake at 150°C for 30 mins. Keep chill.

d) Sambal Paste

Remove seed from dried chillies. Soak in hot water.
Blend all ingredients into paste.
Sweat paste until fragrant.

e) Sambal Aioli

Emulsify egg yolk and oil.
Whisk in lemon juice, sambal paste and adjust seasoning.

One Bite, Full of Flavours

I know that some of you might feel intimidated looking at the intricate work of the crispy crackers on top of the cake. You can actually opt out on that. What’s important is the flavour of the cake. Trust me, you will not be disappointed upon the look of pleasant surprise on your guests’ face. Sometimes, it pays to try out new things, right?

If you love this recipe and would like to try more ‘haute cuisine’ with a touch of Malaysian in it, feel free to let me know by messaging Butterkicap on their Instagram and Facebook profiles. Till then, happy cooking!
